As this is a nature center and less a city park, there's no playground area, but instead natural trails for you to walk and explore. Great if you want to be out in the nature, without masks, and total socially distanced. This tranquil place is a great place to visit if you need to unwind. They have canoes for rent, a campfire area, and they have a sign that says butterfly garden - though I didn't see any butterfly and didn't quite know where exactly that garden may be. There's also a little free library as well. The restroom is clean and brightly lit.

The Bill Sadowski Park and Nature Center is named for Bill Sadowski, a former Department of…read moreCommunity Affairs Secretary who died in a plane crash in 1992 at the age of 48. He served in the House of Representatives and had a successful law practice in Miami where he practiced environmental law. It makes sense that a nature preserve would be named for him. The 30 acre parcel of land that makes up the park has three distinct habitats: pineland, tropical hardwood hammock, and drained Everglades slough. Hiking trails run through these areas. You do have to be careful while hiking, especially on the half mile Old Cuttler Hammock Nature Trail that is behind the nature center. This area was completely destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992 but the canopy has since come back. There are a lot of limestone formations that are easy to trip on. Another of the trails leads to a canal where you canoe and fish while yet a different trail winds through a native tree arboretum. There is a nature center open daily from 10 to 4 with live animal exhibits and an 822 gallon freshwater aquarium. You can schedule tours and nature study programs at the nature center and rent kayaks. Picnic areas and rest rooms are available. Every Saturday night from 8 to 10 PM the Southern Cross Astro's meet in the parking lot near the main entrance. They have the largest public use telescope in Miami and the event is free. You might see a satellite, meteor, or the International Space Station. I hope to join them one evening.

So disappointed with the condition of Matheson Hammock Park. This is such a beautiful location with…read moreso much potential, but it's obvious that maintaining the park has not been a priority. The water did not even look inviting or safe enough to go into, and the "beach" area is extremely run down. There are areas along the water where you can barely even stand comfortably because of the condition of the shoreline. Everything just looks neglected and in desperate need of attention. There is absolutely no reason for a park in such a beautiful area of Miami to be allowed to deteriorate like this. Matheson Hammock should be a place that residents and visitors can enjoy and be proud of. It desperately needs proper maintenance, cleanup, and investment. Very disappointing to see such a special Miami park in this condition.

They regularly organize community events for things like Raid Days, Community Days, GO Fest, and other in-game events. If you play Pokémon GO and live around Miami, I definitely recommend checking out the park and looking up KIH Crew. Even if you don't play Pokémon GO, Kendall Indian Hammocks is a great park with tons of things to do and a really nice community atmosphere. it has walking and nature trails, sports fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, disc golf, an outdoor fitness zone, a skate park, and plenty of open space to enjoy with family and friends. 100% recommend it

Seriously, it has everything. Only complaint is the walking paths could be paved a bit better.

We're absolutely delighted to overnight in quiet Pod 5 site 1 which is a back in site with full hookup. Larry Thompson was a humor columnist for the Miami Herald for more than two decades until his death February 18, 1973. He is in the Florida Newspaper Hall of Fame. His wife Gladys "Penny" Thompson (née Rhodes), who died September 22, 1975, was a pioneer in women's aviation during the 1940s-1950s. She is in the Florida Aviation Hall of Fame and the Florida Women's Hall of Fame. She was the Florida chapter president of the Ninety-Nines, the women's pilot organization founded by Amelia Earhart. While in the Civil Air Patrol, she flew over the Gulf of Mexico searching for German submarines during World War II. Her plane was one of several hundred destroyed in a 1945 blimp hangar fire at the Naval Air Station Richmond, part of which was rebuilt as the park.
